A good friend once told me that we need to surround ourselves with people in which as little as possible is lost in translation. It clicked the first time he said it, but as it rolls off my tongue again, the more it all comes together.
Of course. It's common sense. Why would we surround ourselves with people who don't understand?
I think, though, that sometimes it takes a while to sift through all the good fun before we realize that some people just don't get us. It takes a while to weed, to sort, to push away.
But is it all time wasted?
It's never time wasted, it's experience learned. All things in life are composed of learning, loving, and moving through all challenges regardless of those that "get us" or not. It's who we become after we weed, sort, and push that is the important lesson.
